Lopid, also known as fibrate medication, can be used with a proper diet in order to lower the fats (triglycerides) along with the cholesterol in blood. This drug is generally prescribed following a non-drug treatment option which may not have been fully successful at lowering the cholesterol. This drug works mainly by decreasing the quantity of fat formed by the liver. Reducing the cholesterol as well as the triglycerides lowers the danger of any heart disease and also seeks to prevent strokes as well as heart attacks. The drug also is useful in preventing pancreatitis especially in patients with very high blood levels of triglycerides.

Usage

Following the dosage instructions of your doctor is the best way to use any medication. If you are unsure or do not remember the instructions then you may read the medicine label for more detailed information.

It is advisable to take Lopid 30 minutes before your morning as well as your evening meals.

Please drink a full glass of water with Lopid.

It is very important that you complete the dosage schedule and do not interrupt it in between without seeking prior consultation from your doctor.

Taking your medication at the same time each day is a tried and tested method to avoid missing any doses.

Drug Class and Mechanism

Lopid is known to be a lipid- and cholesterol-modifying medicine. It seeks to reduce the triglycerides and increase the cholesterol carried mainly in high density lipoprotein (HDL) in blood. This HDL cholesterol is occasionally referred to as "good" cholesterol because of the higher concentrations of HDL cholesterol in blood which are further associated with a reduced danger of heart disease. This decrease in triglycerides is thought to be done so as to reduce the excessive release of triglycerides from the fat tissues in body. In one study, Lopid was successful in decreasing the risk of heart attacks. However it did not affect the general survival of patients with high cholesterol levels.

Missed Dose

Despite your best attempts at remembering, if you still miss out on a dose, then take it as soon as you remember about it. But keep in mind that you will have to adjust your next dose by spacing it out by 4 to 5 hours. If this is not possible, then the best thing to do would be to skip the missed dose and continue with your normal dosage schedule.

Never try to compensate for the missed dose by taking a double dose together. It may cause adverse effects.

Storage

Store Lopid at room temperature preferably between 20 to 25 degrees C. Always keep it in a cool dark place that is not directly exposed to sources of heat or moisture and sunlight. Protect it from kids and pets.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Don't have ED but asked the DR for a sample and a scrip. Bought on-line from India and think the quality is the same as USA sample. 100mg cut in half costs less than $3 per dose. This stuff is amazing! I have had problems lasting more than 5 minutes, now I can control ejaculation for over an hour until I sense she's ready to finish. Like I said...amazing. Most times I get flushed face within 15 minutes of taking it and a bit of a stuffy nose. Ready to rock in an hour. When done, wait a few and am ready to go again. Did I mention that this stuff is amazing?

Mark lenox:

At Last!! I take Viagra for about 3 years now. It has been proven to be highly effective. At last, after almost 5 years, I can act like a "normal" man. That is: it seems like I am again 20 years of age (I am 47). Take it, it helps.comes around so I'm not worried. Thanks a lot for this amazing product.
